Will Ash make a good Meena Kumari?

When Aishwarya Rai relived her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's version, she had to fight expectations and comparisons made between her and Sen. She then proceeded to land most of the Best Actress Awards.

She also put Paro on the international map by taking the film to the Cannes International Film Festival.

Ash live up to the huge expectations yet again? Will she match up to Kumari's haunting act of a lonely, alcoholic wife, who longs for her husband's attention? Will she make a good Meena Kumari or do you think comparisons are unfair? Should Rai's performance be judged on its own merit?
